Stormy’s friend Sherry is the housekeeper at the home of the killed child, and she’s been getting notes from a stalker. The opening, with a murdered boy staring at the newspaper headline that reveals his death, sets the tone for this creepy mystery. To give you an idea of her take on life, she says at one point, when showing off her gun, that she’d rather be Jack Bauer than Nancy Drew.Ĭhan is expert at drawing the haunted faces of the tragic young, so she was a great choice for the volume, given its subject. He also hangs out with the spirit of Elvis and a real-life tough chick named Stormy who’s a blast to read about. (Think a male Ghost Whisperer, only the ghosts he sees don’t speak.) He lives in a small California town, almost a character in itself, where he’s accepted as just another person with his own particular talent. The young man strangely named Odd Thomas is a genius pancake maker who can also talk to ghosts. I haven’t read Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas series of novels, but In Odd We Trust, an original graphic novel prequel co-written and illustrated by Queenie Chan ( The Dreaming), makes me interested in seeing more.
